Les demandes de brevet dans le domaine de la conduite automatisée déposées auprès de l’Office européen des brevets(OEB) ont bondi de 330 % entre 2011 et fin 2017 contre +16 % pour l'ensemble des technologies sur la même période. C’est ce que révèle la nouvelle étude de l’Office basé à Munich, intitulée Patents and self-driving vehicles, en français « Brevets et véhicules autonomes », publiée le 9 novembre. Le nombre de demandes de brevet européen dans le secteur de la conduite automatisée a augmenté ces... [Lire la suite]

Why the auto industry should embrace Blockchain Technical innovations happen constantly in small and big ways across our modern society, but relatively few breakthroughs ever have far-reaching impact. Consider Wi-Fi and the smartphone, to name a couple. Increasingly, savvy observers are adding blockchain technology to the list of creations that could transform our universe.  Decidedly a hot topic today, blockchain is the protocol behind bitcoin digital currency, but it was around as a concept for years prior to enabling...

Bosch’s CES-bound shuttle concept takes us on a trip to a not-too-distant future In 2018, the new car market is divided into several segments: Sedans, SUVs, minivans, pickup trucks, and so on. German components manufacturer Bosch envisions the creation of a new segment as soon as autonomous technology merges into the mainstream. It predicts that driverless electric shuttles will become a common sight in major cities all around the world, and it will travel to the 2019 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas to showcase how it...

Connected trucks moving to an app-based world “Being connected” to a truck could describe the experience of driving. The ergonomics and quality of the ride, however, fall short of the ultimate motive for connecting to assets: to maximize profits. Connecting to vehicles in this way involves use of applications and highly structured workflows to maximize the utilization and performance of assets and drivers. One such application that has already become part of the DNA of modern trucks is remote diagnostics, which... [Lire la suite]

Improving Self-Driving Car Safety And Reliability With V2X Protocols A protocol that would help with self-driving cars is V2X or Vehicle-to-Everything. At the moment AI using machine learning techniques (deep learning) have been the focus of development for autonomous vehicle software. A communications protocol layer for self-driving cars can add further improvements for SAE Level 5 compliance. It is a protocol that supports V2V (Vehicle-to-Vehicle), V2I (Vehicle-to-Infrastructure), V2P (Vehicle-to-Pedestrian), V2H... [Lire la suite]

How safe is ADAS? Euro NCAP tests automated driving technology for first time As autonomous functions and advanced driver assistance system increase their presence in vehicles, the motoring safety organization Euro NCAP has put the driving technology to the test for the first time. To highlight how safe the systems actually are, Euro NCAP performed a set of three driving scenario tests on 10 vehicles that were using ‘highway assist systems’ – functions such as Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Centering and Speed Assist Systems to...
